About

If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

En général le tout était excellent.
Par contre, les prix sont exagérés. Par exemple le vin est beaucoup trop cher, ainsi que tous les plats.

The food & service was great! The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because there were fruit flies everywhere, hovering over us & our plates. That was pretty gross.
